Product Description

CD Description
DECEMBER'S CHILDREN marked a crucial point in the Stones' development. The band was beginning to move away from its blues/R&B roots toward something more uniquely its own. Certainly those roots were far from absent in the songs composed for this album, and the Stones still cover their share of the masters here (Chuck Berry, Arthur Alexander, Hank Snow), butsomething new was afoot.
The aching ballad "As Tears Go By", complete with baroque orchestration, heralded a new direction in the Stones' songwriting. Similarly, the folk-rockish strains of "The Singer Not The Song" hint at previously uncharted directions. Perhaps the most crucial track here is "Get Off My Cloud, which, while it incorporates the band's rootsy influences, is possessed of a decidedly modern power that the Stones were only beginning to learn to harness. Thiswas the beginning of a style more specific than pop, blues,or rock & roll. DECEMBER'S CHILDREN may be seen as the beginning of what can only be defined as Rolling Stones music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, 26 Oct 2003
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
"December's Children" was the last Stones album in which cover material accounted for 50% of the content, and it was more or leess thrown together from a variety of singles, British LP tracks, outtakes, and a cut from an early '64 UK EP.

But there is a lot of great stuff here nonetheless, including the huge hit "Get Off Of My Cloud", one of the Stones' most powerful early rockers, the rock ballad "I'm Free", and the string-laden (and rather atypical) "As Tears Go By", which was originally a hit for Marianne Faithfull.

"December's Children" also includes a little-known Muddy Waters-tune, "Look What You've Done", energetic live renditions of "Route 66" and Hank Snow's "I'm Moving On", and the group's version of Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On", which is one of their best soul covers, alongside "Mercy, Mercy" and Sam Cooke's "Good Times" from the "Out Of Heads" album.

This fine album is more than worth a listen, it is a must-have even for moderately serious Stones fans.
